UNESCO-led mission discovers three ancient shipwrecks off Tunisian coast
According to reports, these shipwrecks are believed to date back to Roman times. Although the Mediterranean Sea is known for its rich history of maritime trade and naval warfare, the discovery of intact ancient shipwrecks remains a rare occurrence.
The shipwrecks were discovered during an operation intended to protect underwater heritage. UNESCO and the eight participating Member States launched this mission, recognizing the critical value of these sites in understanding our collective past.
